While the Jazz is dealt another troubling defeat on its road trip, the throw-in player from their trade deadline deal shows himself to be a capable depth piece, posting his best game of the season. UtahJazz
, made his fifth start for the team in their Bogdanovic-less stretch … and played his best game of the season.
“He crashed the glass early, he got us some extra shots,” Snyder said. “And historically throughout his career, he’s been really good from the corner — around 40% on catch-and-shoot corner 3s — and that’s something that he gave us tonight.” This season has been a difficult one for Hernangomez. After 18 games with the Celtics, he was traded to San Antonio; after a mere five appearances with the Spurs, he was re-routed to Utah. It was hard to get comfortable in his diminishing and ever-changing role — the 3.0 points, 34.8% shooting from the field, and 30.0% 3-point shooting he posted in nine appearances with the Jazz going into Friday were by far the best numbers he put up for his trio of teams this year.
He did that against the Hornets — even as the absence of backup center Hassan Whiteside due to a right foot sprain necessitated him learning a few more new things.
